Accessibility Statement
Our commitment to making EducationPals.ai accessible to all learners.
Last updated: March 14, 2026
EducationPals.ai is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We continually improve the user experience for everyone and apply relevant accessibility standards. [FIRST DRAFT — pending counsel review.]
Our Commitment
We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. Accessibility is an ongoing effort — we test new features, respond to user feedback, and prioritize fixes that remove barriers to learning. [FIRST DRAFT — pending counsel review.]
Scope
This statement covers the EducationPals.ai public website (educationpals.ai), the authenticated dashboard, the course studio (lesson reader, quizzes, flashcards), and the AI tutor interface. Third-party content embedded via external links (for example, social media profiles) is outside our direct control. [FIRST DRAFT — pending counsel review.]
Standards
We follow WCAG 2.1 Level AA as our primary conformance target. Where applicable, we also consider Section 508 (United States), EN 301 549 (European Union), and the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA). Conformance is evaluated through automated tooling, manual testing, and user feedback. [FIRST DRAFT — pending counsel review.]
Accessibility Features
Current features include: semantic HTML structure; keyboard navigation with visible focus indicators; a skip-to-main-content link on public pages; ARIA labels on interactive controls; responsive layouts that work across screen sizes; a reading settings panel with adjustable font size, line height, letter spacing, paragraph spacing, content width, theme selection (light, dark, sepia, forest), dyslexia-friendly font option, and focus mode; color contrast designed for readability across studio themes; and skeleton loading states to prevent blank-screen flashes during data fetches. [FIRST DRAFT — pending counsel review.]
Known Limitations
We are aware of the following gaps and are working to address them: some AI-generated lesson content (diagrams, images) may lack alternative text; complex interactive lesson components (drag-and-drop, canvas-based exercises) may not be fully keyboard-accessible; third-party embeds (Stripe checkout, Clerk authentication widgets) follow their own accessibility implementations; and automated accessibility testing may not catch all edge cases in dynamically generated content. [FIRST DRAFT — pending counsel review.]
